Apple bringing 3G iPhone to US market by late May, early June 2008!
We love us some juicy 3G iPhone rumors. As with most things Apple, there’s nothing from Cupertino that would indicate that this latest report from CNBC’s Jim Goldman has any more credibility than any other “report” that cites “inside sources.” But, Goldman believes that the 3G iPhone will hit the US market in late May,…
AT&T and Verizon agree to tap each other’s assets
Network carriers are notorious for slinging mud in their rivals’ direction at any opportunity. It’s a dog-eat-dog business world, after all. So, what’s the only thing that can get the two biggest rivals in the US wireless market to work together? Mutually beneficial business arrangements, of course. You see, the FCC laid down a couple…
iPhone gets native MMS!
It feels like we’re always complaining of the lack of MMS (that’s picture-messaging for the lay-folks) on our iPhones.

AT&T busts doors wide open – announces open network to allow ‘any device, any app’
In the wireless industry, the best weapon any one carrier has against their rivals is the mighty pen. Well, it’s more like the “mighty keyboard,” but you get the point. Not to be outdone by the other big-dog in the play-pen, AT&T has announced that they’ll be opening up their network to “wireless phone, device…
Sprint reveals Samsung Ace SPH-I325; We’re all surprised
Who says carriers can’t keep secrets? Just look at Sprint who surprised many of us with the newly revealed Samsung Ace SPH-I325 phone. The phone isn’t actually THE masterpiece of the Korean giant, but it’s worthy addition to the carrier’s portfolio nevertheless. There’s a 1.3 MP camera, full QWERTY keyboard, QVGA screen and (probably) the…
Dell smartphones coming in 2008?
Dell is entering the smartphone market next year. And while we’ve heard this before, I must add again it’s probably the only way for the computer maker to expand its business.
